Bill Belichick is looking to the NFL for his next offensive coordinator, according to a report.
Bill Belichick is looking to the NFL to fill out his coaching staff at North Carolina, targeting current Raiders interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner for the same position with the Tar Heels, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
